SOURCES:

Source 1 (YP): Marantz Em8 > DAT-LP Mode > CD-R
lineage: 3xCD-R (unknown gen) > EAC (secure mode) > FLAC > Adobe Audition 3.0 (remove silence at beginning and end of discs, trim overlapping audio on end of disc 1 and start of disc 2) > WAV > Traders' Little Helper (fix SBEs) > FLAC.
Source 2: unknown taper and  equipment
lineage: 2xCD-R (unknown gen) > EAC (secure mode) > FLAC 1.4.3

Two different lossless audio recordings of this excellent show were both unearthed within the past year. Source 1 is complete, has excellent fidelity and stereo separation, lacking only in bass response. Source 2 has several cuts between tracks, is narrower, but has better bass. Each recording reveals details of the show that are less audible on the other.

Both sources synchronized and mixed in REAPER 4.78, using stock plugins (multiband compressor on source 2) and T-RackS 5 Suite (EQ and compressor/limiter). Exported to a single WAV (16/44), tracks split on CD sector boundaries in Adobe Audition 3.0. Encoded to FLAC 1.4.3 and tagged in foobar2000.

Thanks to Bruce for the CD-Rs, and to Joel for the transfers.
